Comment: That would include all those with terrible, contagious diseases; all those hundreds and hundreds of criminals; all those who are terrorists; all those who wish to smuggle drugs into our country; all those who will become an enormous drain on our economy; etc.; etc.; etc. The liberals' "compassion" sometimes borders on idiocy. And I assume Ms Taylor would also like to invite into this country the millions and millions of others who want to come here.

Betty Teng

Ms. Teng is a licensed master social worker and a trauma therapist at a Manhattan hospital. She is also engaged in psychoanalytic training and practice at New York's Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy.

Quote

"In the aftermath of Donald Trump's win, patients and colleagues told me they felt less safe walking down the street. . . I know how they feel. In the days following the election my mind struggled to focus. I was prone to spontaneous tears. It was difficult to summon the words to speak. I recognized these responses in myself and others as symptoms of traumatic shock, the possible harbingers of post-traumatic stress disorder."

Said in a Vox article, November 29, 2016.

Comment: Ms. Teng's comments suggest to me she is very immature, very childish, very weak. Perhaps she could use some psychological help.

Comment: Ms. Fortier comments, "Obama has mentioned the name Jesus Christ in significantly more speeches than his predecessor, President George W. Bush. This is not stopping atheists from giving him a free pass, however. [. . .] Indeed, one of the greatest miracles since Obama has gotten into office is the complete silence on the part of organizations such as American Atheists to events such as Obama's 'National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation.'"

Comment: Sadly, there are those today who see the world through a prism of racism. For them, everything has racist overtones. When Eric Holder lies to Congress and is impeached, he's not impeached because he lied, it's because Republicans are racist. When Barack Obama is criticized for his policies or lack thereof, it's not because people disagree with the policies, it's because those who criticise him are racist. When those on the right reject raising the minimum wage, it's not because this action will have negative economic consequences, it's because those on the right are racist. This kind of thinking is dangerous, it's stupid, but it's the kind of thinking practiced and encouraged by those on the left.

Chuck Todd

Quote

"Today [represents] what is arguably the biggest presidential scandal involving a foreign government since Iran-Contra. Take a breath, hyperbole aside, folks, hunker down, cause this is a class 5 political hurricane that's hitting Washington."

Said on NBC February 14, 2017, when National Security Adviser Mike Flynn resigned.

Comment: From the referenced Watchdog article: "Todd is the same Obama sycophant who downplayed or ignored every scandal in the Obama administration, including the pallets of cash and gold shipped to Iran, Clinton's e-mail crimes, and the IRS-Tea Party scandal." Yes, it's laughable, but a lot of Americans heard Mr. Todd and believed every word he said.

Chuck Todd

Quote

"One thing we're not is the opposition. We've never tried to be part of the political debate, but people want to drag us into it. We shouldn't take the bait. We're simply a voice of truth."

Said at the Radio Television Digital News Foundation's "2018 First Amendment Awards" dinner held at D.C.'s Marriott Marquis Hotel, March 8, 2018.

Comment: The source article says: "That would make Todd the most hypocritical (man) in Washington. He says everything negative about the president. He warned that Trump had a 'lame-duck presidency' on the 'brink of collapse' ... two months into the presidency. He called Trump's attacks on the press 'un-American' and asked, 'Could (Russian President) Putin have asked for anything more?' Then, 'Free Press Chuck' denounced the conservative media as Trump's 'Kool-Aid orbit.' He even compared Trump's election to the 9/11 terrorist attack." That's not "part of the political debate?" Of course it is.

Comment: Human Events writer John Hayward commented: "The comment was shocking, and highly amusing, because it so neatly confirmed the stereotypes conservatives occasionally feel guilty about holding, with regard to out-of-touch NPR liberals. You mouth-breathing Jesus freaks out in flyover country are cows to be milked for tax funding, but otherwise ignored as much as possible. It's a damn shame that necessity forced the elegant Lady Totenberg to attend one of your primitive rituals. What was she supposed to do? It was a government function. She simply had to attend, and we’re so fortunate she returned alive, to share what she learned around those melancholy bowls of Justice Department eggnog."

Comment: "The end of the world as we know it." That sounds pretty serious. Does that mean the Supreme Court will blow up? Will it completely disappear? Will everyone there go crazy? My guess is that it will carry on very nicely, thank you.

Comment: The question arises: how many abortions does it take to build a strong family? If just one does it, would two make the family stronger? And if a person doesn't run around and make women pregnant, can he ever have a strong family?

Cynthia Tucker

Pulitzer Prize winner and syndicated columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Quote

"We haven't talked about the elephant in the room, and I don't mean the Republicans: race. Changing demographics. Fear of a white minority. Obama's election has suddenly made many white Americans aware of the loss of a white majority. That's what this crazy summer has been all about. Anti-mosque construction. Anti-immigrant raving."

In comments on the Chris Mathews TV show, September 5, 2010.

Comment: On her blog, Ms. Tucker continues her rant: "Over the last year and a half, many Americans have begun to see a deeper message in President Obama’s inauguration -- the end of the white majority. For some, especially those who are middle-aged and older, it’s a jarring and unwelcome message." The liberal mindset continues to amaze. Citizens can't be unhappy with Obama's policies and actions, they must be angry because he is part black. I'm led to conclude the politics of race will be never ending.

Comment: And who in their right mind would believe anything said on MSNBC? Does she really believe such nonsense? It's sad.
